Helping you find your way

WHAT TO EXPECT AS A NEW PATIENT

Once a person has come to terms with the impact of a cancer diagnosis, their path to care begins with investigation into the options for treatment and options for facilities offering that treatment. More often than not people turn to the web for information and are soon overwhelmed with the breadth and scope of data thrown their way. On this page of our IHC website we endeavour to simplify this experience for you.

Understanding your current health condition and having a keen understanding of the treatments being recommended empowers patients to make informed decisions right for their particular needs.

DURING OUR CONSULTATIONS

MEDICAL HISTORY

The IHC Cancer Care Doctors will review your medical history in significant detail to gain a thorough understanding your clinical circumstance.

CURRENT HEALTH CONDITION

The IHC Cancer Care Doctors will work to understand your current challenges, and assess your physical and mental status.

CARE RECOMMENDATIONS

Your IHC doctor will prepare concise recommendations with an appropriate course of treatment leveraging both standard of care and naturopathic therapies.

DOCTOR MEANS "TEACHER"

It is the objective of every Doctor at the Integrated Health Clinic Cancer Care Centre to inform and educate patients on the factors that influence their health care decision making.  We appreciate your situation and the depth and breadth of information you are being overwhelmed with following a cancer diagnosis.  Let us help you sift through that information and glean an understanding specific to your individual circumstance.
